TO ALL WHOM IT MAY OONGERNt Be it known that I, JOHN HARRIGAN, of East Boston, in the county of Suffolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an improved Mixture for the Cure of Piles; and I (lo-hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

The nature of my invention consists .in combination, incertain portions, of several simples, so as to produce a new and valuable medicine. i

To enable others skilled in the art to compound and use my invention, I will proceed to give the recipe for its composition, which is as follows: I

Sulphur, one ounce; cream of tartar, one ounce; nitre, fifteen grains; ipecac, thirty grains; black pepper. sixty grains; all to be thoroughly mixed in one. pint-ofsimpl'e sirup. Dose for an adult, about two tablespoonfuls morning and evening.

I am aware that mixturessimilar to thenbove, except that there is no ipecac in them, are in commou use,

I but the addition 'ofthe ipecac increases the value of'the medicine very much, and makes it the best-known cure for the piles.

Having thus described the composition and use of my invention, I will proceed to set forth my claim. What I claim-as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of-the United States, is- The above-described medicine, compounded as described and for the purpose set forth.
